Wait for your advisor to video or phone chat you

We encourage all students to become proactive in seeking advice on matters relating
to their college career. Our outstanding advisors are available to assist with academic
issues, as well as help prevent academic mishaps and ensure a smooth transition to
and throughout college life at the University of South Carolina.

Your academic advisor will be meeting with you at least twice a year for advisement.
We'll notify you by email when it's time to sign up for advisement.

Professional advisors are available to HRSM undergraduates on a year-round basis.
Students may make appointments to meet with an advisor. A team of professional academic advisors coordinates advising
activities, including educational planning toward meeting degree requirements, study
abroad advisement, scheduling assistance and referrals to campus resources.

Students meet with an advisor during the formal advisement period before registration
begins. All students are seen individually for advisement. Students are notified by
e-mail and Blackboard when it is time to sign up for Summer, Fall and Spring advisement
appointments.

Registration for courses takes place after the formal advisement period is over. You
must be advised prior to registration. The University of South Carolina Registrar’s Office assigns each student
an appointment date to register. Students may check their appointment time and register
for courses on the Self Service Carolina registration system.

Other Campus Resources

USC offers various program and services in collaboration with campus and external
constituents to facilitate students’ progress and persistence, advance learning, and
